Dear Geraldine,

The privacy legislation requirements do not allow Yukon Education to share student names unless we 
have the parents'   or students' permissions.  We can provide you with the number of CTFN students by 
school, but not their names.  

Subsection 35 (1) of the ATIPP Act provides that a public body may use personal information only: for 
the purpose for which the information was obtained or compiled, or for a use consistent with that 
purpose; if the individual the information is about has consented to the use; or if the disclosure of the 
information is authorized under ss. 36 to 39 of the ATIPP Act.

Authorized Disclosure Under ss. 36-39 of the ATIPP Act

Section 38 of the Act provides that a public body may disclose personal information for a research 
purpose (including statistical research) but only if: the research purpose cannot reasonably be 
accomplished unless the information is provided in individually identifiable form; any link between the 
record and any other records is not harmful to the individuals that the information is about, and the 
benefits to be derived from the record linkage are clearly in the public interest; the public body 
concerned (us) has approved conditions relating to security and confidentiality, the removal and 
destruction of individual identifiers at the earliest possible time, and the prohibition of any subsequent 
use or disclosure of that information in individually identifiable form without the express authorization 
of the public body (us); and the person to whom the information is disclosed (CTFN) has signed an 
agreement to comply with the approved conditions, the ATIPP Act and any of the public body's (our) 
policies and procedures relating to the confidentiality of personal information.  

If you could please share what is the purpose of your survey, then a determination could be made if this 
fits the meaning of s. 38 of the Act.
I will be away during the holidays and can respond in January.

Sincerely,

Janet McDonald

Good day Janet;
I have a request for you, please and thank you!
I need all CTFN students that are registered with all Yukon schools along with their names as we are 
going to be doing a big survey by the end of fiscal year.
